Kinda depends.  I prefer a full-sized platform, my SW model 645 is my
preferred.  Same basic size as the 1911, but with DA/SA action, ambidextrous
safety and a decocker when safety is engaged.  

Problem is, I'm a fairly big guy and while the 645 works well for me when I'm
getting in and out of my Tahoe, if I'm driving my Grand Prix or Fusion, ingress
and egress is a bit tighter, so I need to go with a smaller platform.  On those
days, I go with the Taurus PT-145, .45 ACP like the 645, but with a 10 round
mag, so I carry only one spare rather than the two with the SW.

And if I need more concealment than the PT-145 Pro offers, there's always the
J-frame .38 or even a compact .380 LCP.

Backup is LCP in a pocket holster....
